Description emailshannon

2010-07-28 15:11:46 EDT

Build Identifier: Eclipse Helios 3.6 IDE for Java EE Developers

I went through the Eclipse wizard to find and install the GWT plugin, and my workspace locked after I selected the SDK and plugins and clicked "Next".  After waiting 20 minutes or so, I killed it.  Eclipse would not come up again.  The splash screen flashes, then dies.  
Attempted work-arounds:
- deleting and re-downloading eclipse 
- deleting the ".metadata\.lock" file(s)
- zipping up all workspaces and deleting dirs
- disabling the splash screen with "-noSplash" in eclipse.ini
- re-starting my machine a bunch

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on the eclipse icon to start eclipse
2. Watch the splash screen flash and disappear
3. Observe that eclipse never opened

What VM are you using ?
Are you using a 32bits or 64bits VM ?
Anything in the .log file in the .metadata folder ?
What is your eclipse.ini file ?
Did you try to run the eclipsec.exe executable ?

Move to Platform/Runtime

Comment 4 emailshannon

I have resolved the issue.  I was using the bad JDK Update #21.  I had gone through all of the steps described to fix this issue (got latest JDK, and implemented all suggested work-arounds) and continued to have the same problem with eclipse crashing at startup.
A copy of the bad #21 update had somehow been made, and moved to a dir under C:\WINDOWS\, where it was blocking the latest update from being utilized on my path.
